CABAC CAL185-16 WITH BELLMOUTH CAL185-16BM x 1/EACH

Description

High-Performance Termination for Fine Stranded Cable

When working with flexible, fine stranded conductors, standard lugs can slow you down. The CABAC CAL185-16BM bellmouth copper lug is purpose-built to solve that. The flared bellmouth entry funnels strands cleanly into place, preventing splaying and reducing prep time on site.

This means faster terminations, cleaner insertions, and fewer reworks—especially on larger conductors where handling can be tricky. Designed for 185mm² cable applications, it delivers a consistent, high-quality crimp when paired with the correct tooling and technique.

For electricians managing tight deadlines, this lug keeps installs moving efficiently while maintaining a professional finish.

Proven Reliability & Compliance for Demanding Jobs

Built from 99.95% pure copper with a fully annealed finish, this lug offers excellent conductivity and durability under load. The tin electroplating provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of environments—from switchboards to industrial installations.

Compliant with AS4325.1, it meets Australian standards required for safe and reliable electrical connections. With high conductivity (99.7% IACS) and a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C, it’s engineered to perform consistently across demanding conditions.

This is the kind of dependable component that reduces call-backs and keeps your installations compliant and inspection-ready.

Trade Convenience That Keeps Projects Moving

Designed with real trade workflows in mind, the CAL185-16BM supports interchangeable tooling compatibility with CABAC, Utilux, and Burndy systems—minimising the need for additional gear on site.

For larger conductor ranges (150–240mm²), the option to size up and apply the recommended crimping method gives added flexibility when dealing with varying cable manufacturers.

Available individually, it’s easy to order exactly what you need—whether for a quick repair or a larger install. Backed by a reliable supply chain and competitive wholesale pricing, it helps reduce procurement delays and keeps your projects on track.
